Question

Mass numbers of two nuclei are in the ratio of 4:3. Their nuclear densities will be in the ratio of:

• A. \( 4:3 \)
• B. \( \left( \frac{3}{4} \right)^{1/3} \)
• C. \( 1:1 \)
• D. \( \left( \frac{4}{3} \right)^{1/3} \)

Hint:

Nuclear density is independent of mass number. All nuclei have approximately the same density, regardless of their size.
